Largely self-taught, he became associated with Surrealists in London, but refused to take part in the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition.

He quickly featured in international shows of Surrealist and Dada art, before retreating into artistic isolation in the early 1950s. His reputation revived in the 1980s, with work being exhibited in group and solo Surrealist exhibitions in London, Birmingham and at the Guggenheim in New York (‘Surrealism: Two Private Eyes’, 1999). *Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.
